Long explanation behind this.
The child’s name is Jack, and his eyes were ripped out, the sockets were sewn shut along with his mouth, and he was left to starve in a basement.
Context to how he got into this quirky, silly, goofy and hilarious situation?
So Jack’s with his 4 friends, they find a house in the woods, Jack, being the show off he is, walks in. His friends follow, and one records it on his phone from 2002 because this is in 2003. Eventually, they make it upstairs, and some cult ritual is going on. Most of the kids die, but one escapes. The kid hangs theirselves shortly after, because it was too traumatic to deal with.
So yeah, Jack’s spirit along with many other tortured souls are stuck in this house by a force made with statues along 9 points around the house, and they’re all sad because they can’t leave or something.
